....continued, What Are the Most Common Carpet Stain Offenders?


Children
If you have kids, you know that keeping your house clean is an ongoing battle (keep fighting, parents!). If your child gets a hold of anything messy, you know it’s somehow going to get on the floor. It’s just one of the “wonderful” parts of being a parent.

Every parent dreads the day their child’s mess ends up on the carpet. It’s not fun for anyone, but it happens and your carpet gets the worst end of the deal. The smell is appalling and you might think your carpet is done for. A professional carpet cleaner can deep clean that huge stain and revive your carpet to its original state.
You’d be surprised how often we see gum in the carpet, creating a hard, crusty stain. Kids can also be the culprits for nasty ketchup stains on the carpet. Similar to gum, when ketchup gets old, it hardens and becomes a gross, crusty stain that is difficult to remove without the help of a professional. Help is just a phone call away.

Vacuuming Does NOT Count As Carpet Cleaning... Seriously. We like to think we can keep our carpets clean on our own, thank you very much. We just need to vacuum every month or so and blot when there's a stain... right? Wrong. Most carpet cleaning companies recommend you to professionally clean your carpet every 12 to 24 months. Vacuuming is just not enough. Neither is cleaning carpets yourself. Hiring a professional carpet cleaner is the best way to get your carpet in a healthier condition. Indoor air quality can be eight to ten times worse than outdoor air quality, if you don't clean your flooring, clean your drapes and let air inside regularly. When millions of Americans suffer from indoor allergies , air quality is a huge issue. To keep the air in your home clean, it's important to follow a few carpet-cleaning rules. Namely: Call professionals to clean your carpet, more often than you think you should. We would recommend cleaning the

Stop Using Harsh Chemicals Cleaning Products in Your Home

Using Household Cleaning Products Can Be as Bad as Smoking a Pack a Day   By Hallie Detrick A 20-year longitudinal study conducted by scientists at the University of Bergen in Norway has found that using cleaning products can be as harmful as smoking 20 cigarettes a day. The European Community Respiratory Health Survey aimed to find out more about the long-term effects of using cleaning products. The study looked at lung function in 6,230 participants in 22 locations around the world. Participants answered questions about how often they used cleaning products and had their lung function measured. The study found that women responsible for cleaning at home or professionally suffered a more rapid decline than women who were not responsible for cleaning. The same trend was not observed in men, however. The authors did not offer a reason for this gender difference, though there were fewer men than women in the study and a smaller percentage of those men enga

The Cause of Reappearing Carpet Stains

Image
You spill something on your carpet and it leaves a stain. You clean the stain and it disappears but a few days later, you notice a spot on your carpet. You take a closer look and the stain is back! What happened? How could it reappear? There are two possibilities reasons for the reappearance: soiling or wicking. Soiling Soiling occurs when residue is left behind on the carpet fibers from the carpet cleaner used to treat the original stain. If not completely rinsed and blotted, the residue becomes sticky and attracts dirt and soil to the same spot, which can cause look like the stain has returned. Wicking The other common cause of reappearing stains is something referred to as wicking. Wicking occurs when the substance that was spilled on the carpet has soaked through into the backing of the carpet (and sometimes even the under pad). When you clean the stain, you are cleaning the surface of the carpet. But then the spill that is trapped in the backing and/
